How your gut affects fatigue & energy
Your gut is responsible for absorbing the nutrients that fuel every cell in your body. When gut function is compromised, you may not be absorbing iron, B12, magnesium, or other essential nutrients — even if your diet is excellent. Additionally, gut inflammation can trigger systemic inflammation, which is a major driver of fatigue. The gut-brain axis also means that an unhappy gut directly impacts mental clarity and energy levels.

"I thought feeling exhausted was just part of being a working mum. Elena's testing showed I wasn't absorbing B12 properly due to gut issues. Addressing that changed everything."
